C++ code must be generated using the exact same version of protobuf and gRPC that is used by the libraries using the code later. Since we want to depend on the distro packages to avoid doing the time and resource consuming manual build, these are different among the supported distibutions, so we can't have fixed generated code. Instead, the code generation step is moved to the configure/build stage of the consuming projects.

If we ever use C++ gRPC at all, we most likely want to depend on the distro packages to avoid doing the time and resource consuming manual build. These are different among the supported distributions, so we can't have fixed generated code.
Instead, the code generation step must be done during the build step of the consuming projects (e.g. using cmake).
